LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1838. The Captain of her MAJESTY'S ship Pique, which reached Portsmouth yesterday, arrived in town last night, the bearer of despatches from Lord DURUAIit. Although the dates from Quebec are not later than those we have previ- ously obtained by the Great Western, the information she brings is officially not unimportant. The Earl of DUR HAM announces the return of Captain GREY from Wash ington to Quebec, and that he was the bearer of the strongest assurances, on the part of the PRESIDENT of the United States, that he would zealously co-operate with our Government in putting an end to the robbery and piracy which are carried on under the semblance of open war on the frontiers of Upper Canada. There was the greatest prospect at Quebec of things going on smoothly and well, and of the excited minds of the people returning to a state of calmness and quiet. We may estimate the advantage of steam navigation by the fact that the Pique made the voyage in only twenty days from Quebec, but yet the date of the news from that town is not later than that ne previously received through New York by the steam ship. Lord DUNDAS, who has been nominated Lord Lieute nant of the West Riding of Yorkshire, is son of the Earl of ZETLAND. Ile possesses very extensive estates in that part of the country, and has long taken an active part in all the public matters. Being a person of excellent busi ness habits, great wealth, and of decide lly liberal pfn ciples, a better appointment could nqt have been made. With all deference to the house of Commons, and with a vivid impression of what it can effect by its privileges, we are bound to say that we think its proceedings yesterday in relation to continuing the tax on coals, for making the approaches to the Royal Exchange, most unjust and most scandalous. For several years p tst, the tax which its pre decessors rauted to the City of London, on ail the coals consumed within a certain distance, has been loudly and complaiiied of. It enhances the price of all the coals consumed by the poor, not only by she direct tax, but by strengthening and enforcing the monopoly by multiplying the restrictions on the trade, and by adding a profit on the capital required to ad vance the tax before the coals can reach the consumer. Next to a t.ix on bread, a tax on fuel in this variable, damp, and sometimes cold climate, is most to be derrec..ted. It is a tax on a necessary of life; and as if to show how utterly • and thoroughly re e ardless of all principle arc our Legis liitors—licw solely and exclusively they look to their own selfish ends-,-we tind the patriot Mr. GROTE, and the poor man's frhnol Mr. Alderman Wool), amongst the promoters of the 1311, and the Marquis of C !IA NDOS —it not con cerning corn—amongst its opponents. It is a tax also en the r,w material of almost all manufactures, for few or none cam bc perfected without coal. It inflicts cold, and dampness, and d sea-c, on the poie in a inter, and impedes all matitifsetures ; ) ct this unjast tax vas by the act of the House of Coniii ens last &a.l.t combined for an indefinite period, for the adyatiLg,.4 of sorne Aceor.ing to, the poldic Bid l emoted by Mr. LA moth:tutu:, to svliell ae alyerted oa Eidas, there is a prob that this toisit.us im' o t might eaw;e about 832. ; aecor iog to the pri, e which was read a third time last night, :tad passed by the Go: patriots, it is to be contiouNt for 'A 11111::11 long period.. And what inte.est !'rye all the inhabitants of the valley or tile Thames iu makiag fine alpoaches to the Royal Ex chang,.! that they slmuld he taxed to hay for them ? how a ill the s li s s,.lers in the alleys and lanes, and corners of the ontskirts of the Idetropodi 1)s b, netted by the Eno streets in the neighbourhood of the Royal Exchange, that they must pay for making tbe:n ? The inhabitants of the spot will benefit by the improvement—why should they not ;say for it ? The dwellings will became more airy, the facilities for car rying on husioess will be increased, the rents will rise, the property tof used for public ways will become more va luable; and why, in the name of common sense and ho nesty, should not those who are to reap these advantages pay for them ? What are the great nn , rits of' the fre quenters of the Exchange—now become little more than a race of gamblers and speculators—that all classes should be taxed to promote their cnnycnienee? We look on the Bill as a mast unjust and nelaricus jab, which will be the parent of a great family of jobs. But improvident and unjust though it be, it was supported by the pious representative of Oxford University, as well as by the patriots. After the House of Commons bad agreed to this Bill it pas:ed to the consideration of the Irish tithe measure ; and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in deference to what he sup poses the wish of the house, tired of Irish questions, and resolved on any terms to get rid of them, declared di st he was disposed to accede in substance to the proposition made by Sir ROBERT PEEL on thin day week. The modifi cations are these —whereas the Right Hon. Baronet would k av e given up the 740,000/., for it turns out to be 740,0001. is tead of G 40,009/. a!reirly advanced, and would have 500,000/. additional in the hands of Commissioners, to be dOvot ed to the li q uidation of all other arrears up to ;try time, eown ers to acti-'ut whatme, as y could titli the best tarcomlish it, leaving it to the Commissionerp offers or not ; proposes to advance only the Lord JOHN RUSSE LL 260,000/• remaining of the million, with an y part of the 740,0001. that may have been repaid, and to make it compulsory on the titheown o er to accept im w to can be hat proportion be paid by this sum, giving a fair p for his arrears. Both parties agree In sacrificing a large sum of the public money to pay the arrears of those who by law—but the law is impotent—should pay tithes in Ireland ; but Sir ROBERT would sacrifice the largest sum, and he, making it optional for the Tithe-owners to take it, would leave all the elements of discord in existencs. The Chronicle fears that the Ministers would suffer in their po pularity for this measure ; but they are still in advance of the Tories, and can only suffer more in the public estima tion, because more is expected of them. Both patties in making thii proposition unite ill saying, that thpy have no reason to believe that this sacrifice will promote or ensure the tranquillity of Ireland. Both in fact know, that the Church and all that belongsto it will be resisted hereafter as it has been resisted heretofore ; and both knoW and feel that the money they propose to take from us go. s to reward and encourage disobedience to the law. We stigmatised Sir ROBERT PEEL'S project on Weinesday as a gross injustice to England. The Crronicle to-day de nounces it on the same ground. The Scotsman declares that the whole sum will go into the pocket; of the Irish land lords, and not induce the people to acqiiiesce in the existence of the Establishment. Oa tha united tcstimony of all parties the people of England and Scotland arc to be robbed, as Mr. lInNtE said, by the Whigs and the Tories, for behoof of the Irish lanlowner and non-title payer. Now when we cornl_ne this act of robbery, as Mr. HUM E stylus it, with the 8.11 for plunckring its to make approaches to the Royal Exchange, with the iniquitous Act, as the Rev. Mr. JONES calls it, fir increasing the rates on tithes, with the bounty on sugar, which levies on the sugar con sumers, as Mr. CLAY has demonstrated, a sum of 2,175,000/. for the liAnof of planters, and with the Corn-law, which plunders the public of God knows Low Much, for the benefit of the landlords, we really can come to no other conclusion than that Legisla tion has at present dwindled into a contrivance for enabling one class to plunder some other class, by means of law. But if the Parliament get, and deserve such a reputation, it will come to be regarded as a public nuisance, which ought to be suppressed. The House of Assembly in Jamaica, after pas,ing a Bill declaring negro apprenticeship at an end on the Ist of August next, appointed a Committee to prepare a petition, a memorial, and a protest to her MAJESTY on the subject of the abolition of the apprenticeship and further compensa tion. We must say that these planters and chiefly the planters of Jamaica are a most singular race, and far ex ceed in impudence the poor widow with two or three sons unprovided for, whom Sir VVALTER SCOTT described as the most impudent of all beggars. The proprietors in several of the smaller islands had set the laudable example of providing for the complete emancipation of their slaves on the Ist of August. The Marquis of SLIGO and other, proprietors of negroes in Jamaica had announced their in tention of perforwing the same act of justice and mercy to all on their estates. The outcry against want of faith on the part of the planters, and the demand for the speedy c t-n -pletion of the contract raised spontaneously and universally throughout the British dominions had become too strong for the Government to resist; yet these planters, whoby ahappy combination of circumstances have been at last compelled to do an act of justice, for which they have been paid threefold, still cry spoliation and robbery, and petition the QUEEN for further compensation. We doubt if there is an instance on record of such ingratitude and madness, or if even these persons themselves could have committed any other act so calculated to establish the opinion entertained of them by all impartial men in this country. The British people consider that they have paid ten times more than the planters were entitled to ; and if the account were opened anew between them and the Legislature, we doubt much, so bad has been their conduct, if the Government would venture to make even the first proposition of Lord STAN LEY for a loan of fifteen millions. We are quite certain that nine out of ten of the many thousands that petitioned for immediate Emancipation would raise their voice s against that ; yet they petition for more than the twenty millions, and call on the present Government to do what no Government could do without committing self-de struction. We were anxious that the planters them selves should have the merit of putting the last hand to this work of mercy, and in such a way as to merit the good opinion of the British nation, as well as of the negroes. Unfortunately they have thought fit to act otherwise ; but, like most evils, this Act is mixed up with some good. It will teach the friends of the negroes to watch the conduct of these masters, and take care that men so habituated to the evils of slavery, shall not establill it in another shape. The omnipotence of public opinion was never more strikingly exhibited, than in the despatches received yester day at the Colonial-office, announcing the total abolition of the apprenticeship system in the West Indies. Well night Lord BROUGHAM, in the House of Lcrds, List night, con gratulate the Abolitionists, and the country, on the triumph obtained by the advocates of unqualified etnam.ipatien, by the mere force of convictions based upon the ptinciples of eternal justice, and addressed to the moral sense of ti;e British people. Such a triumph over prejmliee, error, a dread of retaliatory ver.g• once, and self interest, is adrni rably calculated to encourage a nation i i the most arduous struggles against oppression ; and to inspire even a minority with a sure conviction that if their cause be just, tit: y will eventually surmount every difficulty. Ta Lo. d BROUGHAM the greatest praise is due, fur the zeal with which, fur so'many years of an active life, he devoted him self both " in season, and out of season" to the amehor lion of the condition of the African population of our West Indian colonies. His Lordship has, however, his richest reward in the success which has attended his humane and benevolent exertions ; and had the present GovernmeLt no stranger claim to public support and rational confid: than what it m ty derive from having honestly and promptly co-operated with him in achieving the emancipation of tin negroes on tho Ist of August next, we should be the first to maintain that it would be imp sssible to estab'ish the in. herent justice of the Ministerial policy on less ques tionable foundation. Lord GLENELG'S explication of his opinions, and explanation of his conduct upon the slave question list night, were ail that the righteous opponents of a must unholy system could expect or . require. 11i: Lordship preferred persuasion to force, and the te , ult I.a • proved that he acted wisely and humanely for all pa- tie.-- that in consultiag the prcju lies and the pride of tl.c mair ters he effcctuolly providod for the b 'St interests of the apprentices. Though a few of the Crown Colonies had not recommended the iinmedi ite abolition of the ap prenticeship system up to the 10th of June—the d..te of the latest nal f-orn the West Itches—a eferen.c to the xtracts from the Jamaica Jout nals, publishe 1 in moodier part of the Sun, will satisfy our readers that there is longer the shadom of a doubt of their following the mag nanimous example set them by Antigua, Borbadees, Jamaica, Ind the other islands in which the last remnant of slavery has been so nobly abolished by the local Legisla tures. That such is the conviction of Lord Brroucitam is manifest from his consenting to withdraw his umfon for bringing the question more immediately under the jurisder tion of her MAJEST Y in Council. In the event of slavery being abolished, noatin and in fact, throughout the British dotninions en the first of August next, we would respectfully suggest the setting apart that day as a solemn festival throughout the British dominions. Few days in the Christian Calendar—few events in the history of the human race—are more worthy of national commemoration than that on which a natioa spontaneously and solemnly agreed to renounce for evcr the comm;sslon of one of the greatest outrages upon liberty and morality that ever disgraced the human species. Who, even among the most Ugotted Churchmen, would think of comraring the anniversary of the decapitation of an unconstitutional Sovereign, or the discovery of a gunpowder plot, with the anniversary of a day which for ever fr ed the British nation from the foul stain of trafficking in human flesh ?—which abo lished the last remnant of every claim of man in man as personal property ? It is surely more glorious and mare soul-inspiring to commemorate the transcendent, virtuous achievements if nations, than to recall the recol lection of crimes which can neither be expiated, nor serve at a warning to the community, Of the men who, by their untiring efforts have contributed most to the total abolition of slavery, the brief limits of this article will not allow us to say a word. But their names shall or 4 b e forgotten with the nationality of England. In the last Number of the " Edinburgh Review,".in the masterly article on the " Character of Lord CHATHAM," the Reviewer quotes a letter of GEORGE the THIRD whi,h we here subjoin, fur w e un d erstan d i t h as never bc: fore been publi3hed. It is written in answer to Lord NORTH'S proposal for putting Mr. W. PITT'S name in Lord CHATHAM'S pension The making Lerd CHAT HAM'S family suffer for the conduct of their father, is rot in the least agreeable to my sentiments. But I should choose to know him to be totally unable to appear on the public stage before I agree to any offer of that kind, lest it should be wrongly construed a fear of him; and indeed his po litical conduct the last wiator was so abandoned, that hemust, in the eyes of the dispassionate, have totally undone the merit of his former conduct. As to any gratitude to be expected from him or his ,family, the whole tenor of their lives has shown them void of that most honouraide senti ment. But when decrepitude or death puts an end to him as a trumpet of sedition, I shall make no difficulty in placing the second son's name instead of tl.e father's, and ma.king up the pension thr,e thouscrul pounds." We siy nothing of the grammatical inaccuracy of this Royal epistle—for Kiogs are privileged, and indeed ex peete4, to write bad grammar—but what is to be said for the btFe, vindictive, unrelenting spirit that breathes through it ? His MAJESTY will not accede to his favourite Lord No RT tfs proposal— though it exact no sacrifice, and is sew cely even a fat our— until WILLJ AM PITT is compelled to sac fur his bounty ili fin nia pauperis. - When he satisfactorily shows that. Lis alTairs are in such a state, that he hat vo other resource than to work on the rou:, or apply to the parish for relief, then, arid not till then, the high-minded GEORGE the 'FIIIRD—" the good old King," as he has so often been called by those who know nothing of his real character— will do him—not an act of kindness, but of the most ordi nary justice I Mark, too, the delicacy of his allusion to the "decrepitude or death" of the great CHATHAM, which he evidently looks forward to with delight ; and why? because that immortal Minister taught him to feel his own insignificance, and obtain triumphs in which he could not by any possibility have the remotest share, for no one could suspect a GEORGE the THIRD of having either the intellect to conceive, or the energy to carry through, the grand designs of a CHATHAM! A more thorough despot —a more consummate hypocrite—a monarch more sly, tricky, and obstinate, or more fierce and relentless in his enmities—never swayed the sceptre of Great Britain, than this same overrated GEORGE the THIRD. Woe be to his memory, when history, guided by stern truth, takes the pen in hand The Benefices Plurality Bill went through Committee in the House of Lords last night. The ostensible object of this Bill, as our readers are aware, is to apply a remedy to that crying abuse in the Church commonly called " Plu ralism," which is founded on the notion, now pretty nearly exploded, that a Clerical instructor of the people can be in more places than one at the same time. How far the measure will answer the end proposed may be judged from the fact, that it does not prohibit Pluralism in cases where the parishes farmed by the Pluralist are not more than ten miles apart. An attempt was made by Lord PORTMAN to introduce an amendment, prohibit ing any clergyman from holding two filings unless the pa rishes were contiguous. This, he very justly argued, would be the next thing to a declaration that pluralities ought to be entirely abolished, and would besides render the mea sure intelligible, which it was not in its present form. The Bishops immediately took the alarm, and his Grace the Arch-hierarch was pushed forward to declare that such a course as that proposed by the Noble Lord could, by no possibility, be admitted, because the clause on which the amendment was moved had been agreed to, first, by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, alias the Right Reverend CHARLES JAMES, and then by the whole 11;glit Reverend Bench, who were of opinion that the orthodox way of deal ing with an abuse—a great and acknowledged evil—in the church was to steer a middle course between its entire removal and its flourishing in the rankest luxuriance. The happy medium in this case was to fix ten miles as the maximum distance between benefices held in plurality. The most Reverend Father, with a truly paternal solici tude for the spiritual interests of the Church, also remarked that such a sweeping Reform as that proposed by the amendment would play the deuce with the Curates, who would be dismissed in great numbers, and younkers without experience, holding benefices, be compelled (hcu rtefar !) to perform their clerical functions in person. Some trifling alterations were allowed to be made in a few of the clauses, and the Bill was ordered to be reported on Friday. The measure, like all the other Church mea sures, is little better than a mockery. We have received the whole of the Paris Jouraels of Sund.y.

Con in the case was whether persons holding the degree recently insti. toted by the College of Glasgow of Masters in surgery were tn_ titled to practice surgery wiltitt the bounds of a charter of incur. potation granted by James the First, in 1599, to the respondents, which charter was aft-rwards ratified in 1672 by the Scotch Par liament ; the respenflents contet:ding ,that no person could prac. tise surgery within the limits of the grant without a license from the'n; instituted an action of suspension and interdict, for the purpose of restraining certain indisidinds from practi , ing. Art action of declarator was also brought by the appellants for the purpose of having it declared that the posession of the degree of Master in Sur. gory from the College was entitled to practice within the bounds of the Favu ty's charter. These two actions were referred to the Court of Session, who, after mature consi.:4-ration, came to the opinion that with out the license of the Faculty of Physicians, no person could practise st.r3ery within the district cover. dby the grant.

EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT. —On Thursday, ettwo and three o'clock in the afte rnoon, as a noddy belonging t b o Ztr. mei Robertson, with two persons on the driver's box, was proceeding down Duke-street, the horse made a sudden attempt to turn into the York-lane. In order to che e k t hi s movement, the person besidestibles the driver seized the left rein and pull e d t h e horse's head simartly round, at the same time causing one of its legs to strike against the w h e el of the noddy. The animal being frighte ned, perhaps, with g reat fury instantly darted down Duke-st ree t , turned into Abercromby place, and overset the coach into the sunk area of the house of Dr. 'Taylor, No. lin that street. The consequence was, that the vehicle was clashed entirely to pieces, the horse killed, and the driver's arm bro ken in two places, besides one of hi s alleles thrown out of joint. The person who was on the dickey beside him was also severely hurt, but for tunately escaped without any broken bones. About forty feet of the iron-railing and parapet stone were th rown down with the concussion. The driver wa, taken to the Royal Infirmary, where, upon inquiry, we learn that he is doing well.—Scotsman. • That beautiful phenomenon, the Zodiacal Light, was seen at Durham a little after nine o'clock in the evening of the 3d instant. —Durham Herald.

SUDDEN DEATH OF LADY HAy.—(Froin the Stranraer and Galloway Register of Friday, Ju:y 13.) —It is with deep regret that we record au event which has eruct( a heavy blow to the domestic happiness of one of the most esteemed gentlemen of this county. On Tuesday last as Sir James Hay and Lady Hay were on the point of setting out from Dunraggit to dine at Dunskey, and the latter had gone into the housekeeper's room to give some direc. • tions, Sir James was already in the carriage, waiting for her, when suddenly a scream was heard, and he returned to the hou.e to inquire the occasion of it. The sight that pr, sented itself was truly melan choly—Lady Hay was seated in a chair in the last throes of death, and in another moment the vital spark was extinct. It would be impossible to desciibe the scene that ensued, or the despairing cries of the bereaved husband and the children, the latter eight in numb r. But it is , not in the domestic alone that the loss of this amiable lady will b. felt ; her many excenencies had endered her to a numerous circle of friends, while her unbounded charities were the solace of the poor for many miles around her dwelling. In Lady Hay, we may truly say, religion has lost a bright example of unostentatious piety, society a valuable member, and the poor a never-failing friend. Lady Day was only in the thirty-eighth year of her age. The eau ,e of her suddm death is attributed by Dr. Wilson, who was immediately sent for, to the rup ture of one of the vessels of the heart. Lord Bloomfield, the General commanding the artillery at Woolwich, gave a sumptuous banquet la3t evening, at the commandant's residence, to Marshal S ult, attended by the Marquis de Mornay and Marquis Dalmatia, Duke of Wellington, Lord Hill, Lieut.- Gen. Sir Hussey Vivian, Major Gen. Sir Ale.Kander Dickson, Colonel Cleveland, Lord Fitaroy Somerset, Lieut.:Geo. Sir Willoughby Gordon, Major-Gen. Sir John Macdonald, Colonel Whinya' es, &C. Princess de Bethune and daughter have arrived at Crawley's Hotel, from Paris. They are descendants of the famous Sully. His Excellency Count Senn de Pilsach, the Aus trian ambassador at the Hague, arrived at a late hour on Sunday night, at Mivart's Hotel, from the Netherlands. l'since Esterhazy and the Earl of Albemarle waited on the talented count early yesterday moaning, Lord Dundas will be appointed Lord Lieutenant of the North Riding of Yorkshire, vacant by the death of the Duke of Leeds. There could not be a better selection, as he is a nobleman of the highest character, has large possessions, and is constantly resident in the Riding. HIGH CONSTABLE OP WESTMINSTER. -M r . Foster Owen, formerly in the East India service; Mr. Clarke, of Co. vent.garden; Mr. Skelton, late of St. James's; and Mr. Dallman, formerly of Bond-street, are candidates for this situation ; the latter was for some years in the Surrey Yeomanry Cavalry, under Colonel Lord nothes, and has been for a long period a trader and hoiisekeeper in Westminster. Mr. Burke, Deputy Governor of the New Prison, Westminster, was also a candidate, but has declined in favour of Mr• Dailman. Marshal Soult, accompanied by Sir R. 11. Vivian, the Master-General of the Ordnance, Sir R. Dunkin, Bart., the Sur. veyor-General, Lieut.-Colonel Anson, the principal storekeeper, and other officers connected with the Ordnance department, paid a visit yes terday to the Tower of London, where the veteran warrior was received with all due honours. Marshal Soult landed on the Tower wharf about one o'clock, from the Ordnance shallop, in which he embarked at Whitehall. On disembarking he was received by the Governor, Maj it Elrington, the fort major, and others belonging to the fortress. The guns fired a salute, and the band of the Royal Brigade struck up the national anthem. A company of the Rifle Brigade presented arms, The royal standard was hoisted on the White Tower, and very much of re. spect was paid to the venerable. Marshal, who remained within the Tower nearly three hours, during which time he visited the Armouries, the Jewel Office, and other objects of curiosity, at which he expressed himself highly gratified. At four o'clock Marshal Soul left the Tower under another salute from the guns, and proceeded down the liver in the Ordnance shallop to Woolwich, for the purpose of dining with the officers of toe Royal Artillery, by whom he had been invited. The per sons in attendance on the Tower wharf cheered the Marshal on his ar rival and departure. During the past week the Duke of Wellinuton, as Constable of the Tower, paid a visit to the Ordnance Map and Chart Office, in the Tower, attended by the officers attached to his stall; as Field Marshal, and other military gentlemen of distinction. They were received in due form by the brave Colonel Coleby, who introduced the Illustrious Chief and his companions in arms to the venerable Mr. Baker, the principal engraver. The distinguished visitants beheld with asto. nishm:nt the enormous plates whereon were engraven the various parts of the globe, with its seas and continents, and Mr. Baker then, by oral explanation, and the exhibition of machinery, demonstrated the process of reducing the size of the maps and charts for the use of the mariner, and the guidance of the overland traveller. His Grace paid Mr. Baker and theattists under his charge a very high but well merited compli. ment. It may not be improper to correct an opinion which has been for many years prevalent. Mr. Baker here alluded to is the benevolent individual who has for many years visited the condemned coils of New. gate, and who is generally spoken and written of as a Clergyman. Hiy Royal Highness the Duk© de Nemours was visited yesterday, at Grillon's Hotel, by their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge and Prince George of Cambridge, his Serene Hi g h. ness Prince Ernest of Hesse Phillipsthal, the Duke of Saxe Coburg, Duke of Rutland, Prince de Linango, his Excellency Marshal Soult, Count Pozzo di Borgo, Lord John Fitirc.y, etc. On Sunday his Royal Highness went to Windsor, nooompattied by It's aid-de.camp, the Marqu'A de Beranger, CgUllt de Beam, General Colbert, General Boyer, O.

On Saturday last, four men lost their lives by the explosion of tire damp, in Lord Vernon's colliery at Poynton.

AN AMERICAN JUDGE.—There be sot, with his hat on, a sigar in his mouth, his arms folded, and his feet over the rail, looking as sour as an unripe lemon. "Bring up them culprits," said he, and when they were brought up he told 'em it was scandalous, and only fit for English and ignorant foreigners, that sit in the outer porch of darkness, and not high-minded intelligent Americans. " You are a dis. grace," said he, " to our great nation, and I hope I shall never hear the like of it agant. If I do, I'll put you on your trial as sure as you are rn. I hope I may be skinned alive by wild cats if I don't."-- Sam Slick. OLD OLIVER.—At Pearce's, the extensive coach makers id Long-acre, a large clock is to be seen, which was manufactured during the usurpation of Oliver Cromwell, from which circumstance the men belonging to the establishment have named it " Old Oliver." The works are still in the most perfect condition. The tone of the bell is exceedingly beautiful—it contains a considerable portion of silver. Several collectors of curiosities haviptrered considerable sums for it, but Mr. Pearce seems determined to retain possession of the article, which has been on the premises he now occupies for nearly two centuries. The quarterly meeting of the Royal Naval Benevo lent Society was held yesterday at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's ; Admiral Sir John Rodd was in the chair. Among those pre tent were Admiral Oliver, Captains Sir W. Willoughby, Edgar, ese. The minutes of the last meeting having been conermed, the charter in corporating the Society was read by the Secretary, after which the ac counts of the receipts and disbursements were laid before the meeting; it appeared that the balance in hand was upwards of SQOI. The peti tions of numerous applicants for relief were then taken into considera tion; arid, after transacting some other unimportant business, the meet ing separated. Sir I'. B.

Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, the remains of the late Duke of Leeds were removed from the mansion where he ex pired, for interment in the vault of St. Trinity Church, Osnaburg.street, Revnt's park. Several outriders, in deep mourning, took the lead, followed by mutes four abreast, and the plume bearer. After him were the heralds on horse end foot, bearing the ducal coronet and other insignia of nobility. The hearse was drawn by six beautiful black horses, and was adorned on either side with escutcheons and the armo rial beatings of the family. A great number of mourning coaches and private carriages brought up the rear, which was closed by the private chariot of the deceased duke. The, corpse arrived at the church a little before ten O'clock, when the coffin was withdrawn from the hearse. It was covered with crimson velvet, and embelished in all its parts with gilt ;Awes. At a general meeting of the Baronets held on Friday at the Clarendon Hotel, Sir John Chetwode in the chair, a Re port was read from the Committee, in which, among other things, it was recommended that the claims of the Order for the revival of ancient rights and privileges should beprosecutCd before the Queen in Council. The Report stated farther, that the number of concurring Baronets now exceed 400, while only seven had dissented in writing. A reso'ution was passed protesting against the exclusion of the Order from its proper place at the coronation. A call for an additional sub scription of 5/,.. from eaoh of the concurring Members was annourceds and thanks voted to Sir Isaac Coffin for a contribution of 1001. towards a ceramon fund for the benefit of the order. At the anniversary meeting of the Cambrik is Bible &witty last week, the Rev. Professor Scholefield related the following anecdote of Mt. Hone, the well.known author of the " Every Day Book." Mr II one, in the d:sys of his infidelity, was travelling in Wales on foot, and being rather tine! and thirsty, he stopped at the dheor of a cottage where there was a little girl seated reading, and tam he asked if she would give him a little water. " 0 yes, Sir (she eid) if you will come in mother will give you some milk and water;" upon which he went in and partook of that beverage, the little girl again resuming her seat an I' la :el suk. Ater a short stay in the cottage he came out and se accosted the child at the door—" 'Well, my little girl, are you petting your tssk ?"--" 0 no, Sir (she replied), I am reading the nible."-7 " But (said Mr. Hen.) y ,11 are getting your task out of the Bible."- - • "0, no, Sir, it is no task to me to read the Bible—it is a pleasure." This circumstance had such an effect upon Mr. lions that he determined to read the Bible too, and Ire was now (said Profeesor Scholefiele) one of the foremosi in upholding and defending the great truths contained that holy book. ira It OBBERY.—On Monday se'iiiiight an outrage of a most murderous character was committed on two charcoal burners, wit) were engaged in their culling In a wood, by, it is supposed, a youth of the name of Pickering, who was assisting them. Ihe party had been from an early hour in the morning laboriously engaged in their avoca tion till the evening of that day, when they were visited by their em ployer, and were paid the wages due to them. About five o'clock they sent for three quarts of ale to the cabin in which they lodged, and after this was drank the two men fell asleep, during which they were so violently beaten about the head, apparently with a stake, as to render them at once insensible. After remaining some limns in this state, one of the men so far recovered as to be able to reach the Spout lane, and apprise the friends of his fellow-sufferer Collins, who resided there, of his condition. Both men were robbed of their money and the best part of their clothes, whilst the supposed offender left behind him the worst of his own clothing. Collins still remains in a hopeless condition.- Shrewsbury Chronicle. - - T.
